You can now buy paintings created by inmates at Byculla women's jail

If you visit the office of Inspector General of Prison at Byculla women's jail, you would be tricked into thinking it's the corporate office of an MNC as beautiful paintings dot its corridors. Interestingly, all the artworks are the handiwork of inmates from across Maharashtra's jails.
The artworks, are not just for display. "They can be purchased with cost varying from painting to painting," said Inspector General of Prisons Rajvardhan Sinha. While 80 per cent of the revenue will be given to the artists, the remaining 20 per cent will go towards inmates' welfare.
